Been 5 years since I've been here. My mom wanted some oysters and shrimp so I made a bee line down here for her. This place is always hopping and thankfully I got here at just the right time. Got the s6 shrimp and oyster combo plate with fries and hush puppies. She's gobbling it up. read more

Seafood Express - 1/2 shrimp 1/2 oysters PoBoy - Seafood Near Me - Meridian, Mississippi

Overall 4 Stars If you want a decent Po-Boy in Meridian, make a pit stop at Seafood Express. Get your gas and chips but you GOTTA' get their sandwiches! Ambiance - A locally owned gas store / deli, you can order a variety of FRIED food, both Surf or Turf, plates, family style or a la cart. The only fresh seafood they might have is Crawfish, when in seasoned. There are three or four small tables to seat and eat. I recommend as order as takeout. Service - the staff were fast and friendly. With a steady supply of locals coming through, they ready to take your order. The deli section is stocked with a lot of fried items so you can get your food quicker. However, I would recommend to get one of their PoBoy sandwiches. You won't go wrong. You may have to wait 5-10 minutes but it worth it. Food - 4 Stars Shrimp PoBoy combo w fries and drink. $13.99 I would have given it 5 stars but the fries were overcooked and too crunchy. The quality of the potato of the fries could be better too. The bread was fluffy and toasty just as it should be for a PoBoy! The amount of shrimp was overwhelming. See pictures. The sandwhich came w lettuce, onions, pickles and tomatoes. No mayo. I ordered the 8" combo meal but they have a 6" size, if you counting your calories because your cholesterol will still be high with the amount of fried food! Oh, I forgot, they have shrimp fried rice too. So get a side order! I forgot to order mine. Bummer. Enjoy read more

The catfish was over cooked and not fit to eat the service was fast ambiance was normal food over cooked

This restaurant is inside of a gas station. I stopped by for lunch on a Saturday afternoon about 3pm. This place was PACKED! There was a long line in there. I ordered 2 whole catfish, 2 whitefish filets, and a 3pc dark dinner. Service was ok. It took about 15mins. The fish was freshly friend and pretty good, could've used seasoning. The chicken wasn't fresh, it was warm and had a good flavor, but not fresh. Not sure I'd go back. But it was nice to try them out. read more

Seafood Express - Whole catfish - Seafood Near Me - Meridian, Mississippi

The food here was absolutely amazing. I got a shrimp po-boy and it had tons in shrimp flowing out of it. I also got a side of fried Okra and it was fresh and hot! I will definitely eat there again. Just keep in mind it's a service station restaurant so grab it to go! Yummy! read more

The food was some of the most incredible food I've ever tasted. We got the shrimp Poboy and it had more than enough shrimp for two. The seasoning was amazing and the bread was delicious. I also got the catfish and that was just to die for.! read more

I got the famous shrimp poboy. The bread was authentic -- grew up near New Orleans, so I know my poboy bread! There was so much shrimp you could barely close the box! However, I don't like unclean shrimp and this shrimp has not been deveined. (I guess it's just big bags of frozen shrimp?) I'm weird about that, so I didn't eat it. But the fries were great and I plan to go back and try maybe some fish and some gumbo. I could tell they have good food, but what I tried just didn't work for me. Keep in mind this place is hopping and busy so be patient. However, it doesn't take long to get your food and you get to see the food coming out to see how good looking it all is! read more

Never would I have thought that gas station seafood would be this good. But yes it was. Portion size was plentiful as well. Great price and great food. The gas station itself was not clean but the food makes it a 4 star for me. read more

Just be prepared for a wait. It's good food great prices and no complaints. I only wish for the boils they have there was a Nin Spicy option. read more

The place is inside of the gas station. Make sure you check out all the printed specials that they have. I got the pol boy and catfish plate. Pol boy came without a side. The plate came with 2 sides. Good food would go back again. read more

The whole fried catfish is the best!!! I have gone there many times. I have also tried their shrimps. It's great too.

Get you an overstuffed shrimp poboy. Shrimp falls all over the place . Cooked and seasoned well. I must have one on every trip home to Meridian. read more

Seafood Express - Shrimp poboy - Seafood Near Me - Meridian, Mississippi

Hole in the wall place. Doesn't look like much but it was one of the best places we've eaten at! I had the 1 pound peel and eat shrimp, which was fantastic! My kids had catfish and the hubs had the shrimp po boy. All soo good! Definitely a must stop! read more

Food, oh my goodness! So perfectly prepared, fresh and delishous. My usual Seafood Express go to is the shrimp Poboy. The service is pretty ok and they really do try to keep it moving and as efficient as possible being as busy as they always are. Ambiance - well not exactly a strong point.. After all it is in a gas station!! read more

I am not sure that there is even a sign that says "Seafood Express" out side but follow the directions to the address and you will definitely be pleased with what is on the inside. The place is basically a service station with a food place in it. I can only speak about the Shrimp Po Boy. But the Shrimp Po Boy is seasoned to perfection and you will receive a generous amount of fried shrimp. The Po Boy was so large that I said that I could not eat it all at once, but I did. The shrimp sauce that came with it was the icing on the cake. If you are ever in Meridian and want to get a really decent lunch/meal, make sure that you check this place out. read more

Seafood Express - Ordering counter - Seafood Near Me - Meridian, Mississippi

Born and raised in New Orleans, and since there's no more Gene's Poboy's this is the best Po-Boy out there. The bread taste like there's a Leidenheimer factory adjacent. The shrimp is thoroughly seasoned and carefully breaded. This Poboy has completely altered my routes when I travel to and fro. I've taste every great poboy place in New Orleans and this tops them all, and that pains me to say that! read more

This place is AMAZING! We're driving cross country and I am a sucker for a hole in the wall locals only kind of place. Our family ordered a shrimp po boy, an oyster po boy and a half and half. They not only make the best po boy I've ever had but also the best hush puppies. Excellent customer service, huge portions and a bang for your buck make for a winner in my book. Hope I find myself in Meridian again! read more

The food is good here but get it to go. The tables and seating are filthy. The food staff is not in charge of the seating areas as they are the property of the gas station, not the restaurant inside and they never get cleaned. I discounted the rating not because of the food, but because of the filthiness of the area around it. read more

For $8.99 you can get the best Shrimp Po'Boy in America. If you are driving through Meridian, Ms. Seafood Express is a must stop!

Oh my , best shrimp po boys and grab a back of potatoes, corn and sausage while your there. Yum yum

Never had anything here that wasn't great. Catered with 200pieces chicken with 200potato logs and it was hot and fresh at meal time. Many positive comments. I'm a regular customer and I've never had anything that wasn't good. read more

Do not let the outward (or inward) appearance discourage you from entering this hole in the wall dive! Yes it is in a gas station. Yes there are bars on the window. However, we were greeted by some of the nicest business owners and patrons of this establishment. The food was prepared after we ordered (no gas station heat lamp food here). The owner came over and spoke with us for a while telling us the history of his family and where they got their start. Very nice family who all worked together to get fresh seafood cooked and out to the customers quickly. Even the youngest (maybe 10) could run the show! Such a cutie bouncing around the place helping everyone out. The food was great! Hot and fresh. We ordered catfish, frog legs, boiled shrimp, and fried shrimp with hush puppies and fries as sides. No complaints and full bellies! read more

No dine in. Array out only. Almost every Thing is fried so be forwarded. I TJ's the Oyster PoBoy and gumbo. Combo was great. Tasted so good I wished it was the only thing I'd ordered. PoBoy was good but bun was too big I ended up only eating half the bun with the ouster's moved to the side I ate. It is in a gas station and easy to miss I did but turning around was easy. read more

The only reason I am giving a one is because we wanted to eat here. Yelp listed hours as open until 10. We arrived at 7:15. Doors closed and locked. read more

Our shrimp and oysters were fresh and cooked only after ordering, and, they were very good. We also liked the fries, but the coleslaw was mayo-laden and inedible. Prices are good and the food is, also. As other reviewers have mentioned, this is not a garden spot and you may find it disconcerting to eat in a gas station, but in spite of appearances, it is clean and the food is worthy. read more

Seafood Express - Seafood Near Me - Meridian, Mississippi

What a find! Very friendly folks in the neighborhood thought I was parked on the wrong side to get gas, I said, nope, I'm here for the shrimp poboy! I ate the 8 inch. The shrimp were hot and so many were on there that they were falling off. What really made it was the bread. It was very close to what you'd get in New Orleans. Excellent prices, too. read more

The food was really good. When I saw that the restaurant was inside a service station, I was somewhat hesitant. but I'm happy that we decided to give them a try. The area was clean, the food was safely prepared and served at the proper temperature. Though the store is small, the employees seemed passionate about delivering a tasty restaurant quality meal. When passing this way again, we would happily dine again. read more

My family and I recently moved to Meridian from Louisiana and we have been trying different local restaurants in hopes of finding a place that would serve food that tasted similar to Louisiana (If anyone has eaten in Louisiana you know what I am talking about). Well we don't have to look any further because we found the place! Seafood Express is my now go to place when I am craving seafood particularly the seafood platter combo with fried shrimp, fried oysters and fried catfish. I tried their fried chicken and was not disappointed either. It is a little off the beaten path though and is a tiny "hole in the wall" but the food makes up for the extra drive time and what it lacks in decor. I highly recommend eating there. read more

This place is awesome, delicious seafood joint located inside a gas station that is affordable and fast. They have a menu of your regular Poboys including a soft shell crab one that we had for under $10!! Also had the seafood platter with fried oysters, shrimp and WHITTING fish (which was a new delicious fish I've not had) . The gumbo looked paper than what I am used but once I started digging in, I couldn't stop cus it was legit. Will be back. read more

Seafood Express - Fried Seafood platter with 2 GOOD sides ! - Seafood Near Me - Meridian, Mississippi

Don't be fooled by the location (located inside gas station). Remember the old saying, don't judge the book by it's cover. Was itching for some sushi but being from Southern California I was scared to take my chances here in Meridian. Decided to play it safe and dine local cuisine. Pick this place because it has one of the highest yelp rating in the area, 4.5 stars with 61 reviews, 48 more than the highest reviewed Waffle House in the area and more than all the Waffle House in the area combined. I might have to rethink about playing it safe with local cuisine. This joint is located as part of a gas station. I should have turned around and head back to Cracker Barrel but I was too hangry to think straight . Finally met the first Asian person in Meridian. It was quite entertaining to hear him and his little 10 year old sister speak Vietnamese with an Southern accent. The food actually taste pretty good. Not as flavorful as Boiling Crab back in California but I didn't have to deal with Boiling Crab's 2 hour Friday night wait list. read more
